How big are those links. First thing I noticed is the letters on the links....but cant quite make them out...some sort of bracelet perhaps ?

Agreed Trk5capt most likely it is a woman's belt perhaps from that era.

The belt was found on a path not far from where plenty of wemon would have lived in that time era. The belt's links are 2" by 2". It appears to be made of copper and was found at about 3" underground. Haven't made out yet if its a very elongated Y on the links, an A without the center line, or a V.

The path it was found on is a path created probably in the 1920's. It was a well travelled walking path for many years. Their was also many peps living on each side of the trail that had family members in WWII. That was the source of my question about the belt. I figured it most likely a fashion belt, however a small nagging voice said "Perhaps its a war relic of sorts, A V for victory type of belt that a woman might have worn during WWII showing pride in her friend or loved one in the war. However, I have been unable to locate any such mention of a V belt for WWII. It's not impossible, but most it is most likely improbable.

Angelo,

That would be a good guess. The bracelet / belt is still in need of more cleaning, so its real hard to tell from this picture that the letters are all the same letter. But judging from this picture that certainly would have been a good guess.

I think I will have to go with Trk5capt's answer. It is probably the correct answer.

TY much for the reply,
